Acknowledgments
As my first published novel, Ariel’s Tear marks an exciting moment in my life, the fulfillment of a goal held for many years. Here in the book’s first pages, I wish to thank a few of the many people who have helped me reach this goal.
Thank you
to Anna Goodling for always being there to encourage me, for reading and critiquing every draft of every story and every novel I ever pushed at you, and for constantly believing in my abilities;
to Abraham Feldick for the beautiful cover art that adorns this book;
to Will LaValley for the author photograph on the rear cover;
to all my classmates in the 2015 Professional Writing class at Pensacola Christian College, particularly Serena Rose who helped proofread this work;
and to all those dear friends in my life who have helped foster and cultivate my love of writing during the years I’ve spent learning the craft, particularly Rebekah Cullum and Coartney Freeland.
